I would agree. The average retail shorter is mostly a non-entity. Those that can and do, are those that can manipulate, i.e., have the financial means to do so.

It easier for someone with means to drive the price down down here, where there is zero institutional support. I'm sure most of the real money made down here is on the short side for the big players. Hire a few to talk the stock down, or keep new retail money away, always have large asks, and you can drop most stocks down here without that much effort.

Once in a while, along comes a stock like NTEK, which does not allow that scenario to come to fruition, and shorts find easier targets.
